A type is a really good idea. It could look like a virtual address, despite the
paddr in the name.

I added it to the cleanup list. But I would prefer to keep this series focused
on resolving the critical controversy around the struct page/pfn type, rather
than adding in more things to debate. If you don't mind.

Yea, this is used to construct u64 inputs for seamcall args. So I think it
should keep returning u64s. Maybe instead it would be better to have a function
name pattern that denotes that purpose. We have some more helpers like this
coming.

But similarly, I'd like to not grow a snowballing cleanup series for this one.
